IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING ROAD TO GET HERE AND A LOOK AT ITS FUTURE, AS WELL. Carmen: A LOCAL FAMILY IS DEMANDING ANSWERS IN THE STRANGE DEATH OF THEIR LOVED ONE FOLLOWING A CONFRONTATION WITH POLICE AT NORTHLAND MALL. THE OFFICERS SAY THEY DIDN'T USE DEADLY FORCE, ONLY PEPPER SPRAY. SO WHAT KILLED McKENZIE COCHRAN? WILL JONES WILL HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS. Will: THE MAN WAS AT THE MALL TWO DAYS BEFORE THIS DEADLY INCIDENT AND HE THREATENED TO KILL SOMEONE. HE SAID HE WANTED TO KILL SOMEONE. WE SPOKE WITH THE FAMILY AND THEY'RE NOT TALKING ON CAMERA BUT SAID THEY'RE NOT BUYING THE STORY FROM THE MALL OR POLICE AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE THIS MALL YESTERDAY THAT THEIR LOVED ONE IS NO LONGER HERE. POLICE SAY 24-YEAR-OLD COCHRAN DIED AFTER AN ALTERCATION WITH THE NORTHLAND MALL SECURITY. THE FAMILY WANTS ANSWERS. Will: COCHRAN BECAME UNCONSCIOUS AND DIED. THEY'RE LOOKING AT SURVEILLANCE VIDEO, INTERVIEWING WITNESSES AND THE SECURITY OFFICERS INVOLVED. THE FAMILY'S ATTORNEY SAYS: Will: POLICE ARE REVIEWING THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO AND THE MALL HANDED IT OVER TO POLICE. THEY'RE ALSO PERFORMING AN AUTOPSY AND AWAITING INFORMATION FROM A LOT OF WITNESSES, AS WELL. AS FOR THE SECURITY GUARDS INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT,

In a statement to Local 4, the mall says, "We are confirming that there was an incident involving an adult male who was reported to be loitering outside one of our jewelry stores. The male became combative when approached by our security officers. Pepper spray was administered by one of our security officers for his own safety."

Police say Cochran became unconscious and died. An official cause of death has yet to be released.

Investigators are looking at surveillance video, interviewing witnesses and the security officers involved.

Cochran's family wants answers.

"It's quite clear that a 24-year-old healthy child doesn't die as a result of being pepper sprayed in the face," said Gerald Thurswell, the attorney representing Cochran's family. "We understand the Southfield Police Department has a video of the entire incident and they will not release it at this time."
